Two Balloon Stories.

In talk with John Forepaugh last
night, says Il writer in the Philadelphia
Meas, heard several interesting stor-
les of adventures with hot-air balloons.

send them skyward at every stopping
point of the Forepaugh show he said.

regard to these balloons which occurred
in 1874 at Chester. There was large
crowd on the grounds, and Il man we
called Big Smith was inside the bag
while it was being inflated. At last the
balloon bulged out, nearly full, and

ropes, the balloon shot aloft like u rock

their eyes rs they saw it grow smaller
and smaller, until it was out of sight
when the balloon was first skipping
toward heaven Mitchell's head could be
seen over the edge of the basket, as he
yelled, Help, for Gods sake.' When
the big bag hoated beyond the range of
vision dozen men started northward

miles. and they found the balloon with
the wretched Mitchell lying helplessly

THE ROCK ISLAND FIRE.

The fire at the Rock Island freight depot
building yesterday morning made a clean
sweep of the building and contents. AS
stated by Joe johnson, the night watch
for both depot buildings in the city of that
company, he left the building near a half
hour before he saw the fire. While at the
building he extin guished the lamp and
fixed the fire in the stove. Leaving that
building he started to the passenger depot
building, and when near it heard an ex-
plosion in the direction of the freight depot
He looked back and saw a light but did
not think it was in the freight building
Waiting few minutes he found out where
it was. Being assured where it was he ran
TO a neighbOring telephone anu sent in the
alarm.
Before the fire department arrived Mr..
W. ii. Herbig, day train dispatcher, was
On the scene and says that the fire could
not have started from the stove or lamp
as the fire had not reached the office and
there was no other room in which there
was fire. The fire seemed to have started
from the center OF the building and went
quickly to the roof.
When the department arrived
tEGJt was 10 water pressure Suiteu
for fighting fire. This was probably the
result of the water station not being mott
fed. They had very low pressure judg-
ing from the stream. If the pressure had
been all desired it is believed that the fire
would not have done as much damage.
There was one half car load Of stoves in
the building, q car load Of roofing paper,
one-half car load OF coal and some mer-
chandise DR.. Van. Pearman had some
boxes OF books, an operating chair and
other valuables for his Office which were
burned amounting to 1900. He been had
tending the Cook county hospital at Chi
cago and made the purchase Of the val
tables burned.
The accounts, cash book and consider
able stationary belonging to the company
were destroyed. The safe was unlocked
yesterday and everything found that is
usually placed III il for safe keeping.
Contrary to the rule only two cars were
standing near the building and thev were
showed out of danger. The trains of
Thursday were delayed and as a result, at
the time very little merchandise was in
the building

NEW BOARDERS-

Officer Metcalf came up from the south
last evening having in charge two men:
one of whom he had arrested and the other
who had been handed over TO him:
F. l.. McCord was taken at Derby under
a civil order of arrest, charged with embeZ-
z!ing 1852 and also putting out of posses
sion his property.
Gladell was the name of the second
party. He was charged with the seduction
of girl near Clearwater. Shortly after
the offense became public he ran away
from this state and was heard of after
wards in Illinois. Here he was arrested
upon a requisition, but just as the officer
was preparing to bring him back for trial
he managed to make his escape and moth
ing more was heard of him until he turned
up at his fathers home at Mulvane. Here
he was rearrested and being handed over
to Officer Metcaf was brought here for
trial
Both men are now stopping at Hotel de
Hays.

PREPARING PLANS.


". G.. Martin, of Kansas City, interested
in the West system of sewerage, made the
city a visit for the purpose of submitting
plans to the city council for his system.
He has been allowed by City Engineer
Mulvey, to take data from the work of
Rosewater & Christie which was pur-
chased by the city. He will take the data
and send them to the headquarters of the
company from which plans and specifca-
tons according to their company viii be
made and given to the city council for in
spection.
The system known as the West"
is used at Pullman City, East
St Louis. Los Angeles and Atlantic City
From Il gentlen III the city who knows of
the system it is learned that the pipes lead
to basin from which it is elevated into the
river or body of water By pumps. The
company claim to be able to put in their
system cheaper than any other system can
be The statement don't seem, however
to carry with it convincing power, as it
would seem strange that cities on hill sides
amt severed by the same system.

DEATH OF WILLIAM KIP.

| William Kip, civil engineer. well
known in this city, died very suddenly yes
terday about noon at his office over 137
North Main streel
The information OF his death caused CON
siderable surprise among his friends as he
was seen upon the street the night before
| and had early in the forenoon talked and
joked with some men who came into his
Office. His roommate Mr.. Belts, said he
passed the night without showing any
signs of serious illness. When
he awoke about 7:30, he said
he would not get up for awhile as it
was very wet, disagreeable day. Mr..
Jones, the man employed in the office. af-
forwards heard him breathing apparently
with great difficulty: and upon the advice
of gentleman who called at the office, a
physician was summoned DR. Shuts
was sent for and a glance told him that
Mr.. Kip was dying. All efforts at resto-
ration proved of no avail and he died with
out regaining consciousness.
Comparatively little is known of his life
by any one in the city, and the Mayor was
himself somewhat reticent of speaking of
his own affairs. He came to Wichita

ever since been engaged at his profession,
that of a civil engineer. He was very
Skillful and had thorough understand
ing of his business. For some time he was
in the employ OF the D. NJ & A., and also
located the Trinidad & Colorado railroad.
There are several gentlemen in the city
who remember him years ago when he
was city engineer of Omaha, Neb., and
the predecessor of Andrew Rosewater, one
of the gentlemen who made the plans for
the sewerage system of this city
The address of Anna Kip, BUffalo, N.
Y, was found IN his desk and she was
notified Of his death and also asked What

GONE.

Last night Mr.. Frank Burt, who has been
the victim of several petty rObberies at his
residence. recognized the pilferers in two
tramps loafing in the Monarch billiard
hall. No sooner did the fellows realize the
situation than they attempted to dash out
of the building, but Burt, who is a man of
stalwart physique promptly seized one of
them by the collar and proceeded to wipe
up the floor with him in a manner that
was at once eXhilerating and refreshing.
The culprit finally broke away and dashed
up the street in a fashion that the specta-
tors affirm would have made Kittleman
turn green with envy.
1t is said these men have committed a
number of robberies about town, and the
summary treatment which they received
last uight was well merited.

COMING BY THE THOUSANDS.

The editor Of this p aper received n letter
from y business man OF an eastern city
yesterday containg several very mean
articles inaiieing Wichita. One of these
ARTICLES declares to the writer's personal
knowledge, that Wichita is almost daily
voting subsidies by the thousands Of doI
lars to new manufact uring concerns.
Wichita never in ali her existence voted a
single dollar 20 a manufacturing concern,
ana me man who wrote what he did knew
he was lying if he knew anything But he
is probably an idiot. The writer of the
letter to the editor of the EAGLE closes by
sayiug:
